Register import vehicle

A motor vehicle (new or used) that was already registered in a non-EU/EU country or that was purchased in a non-EU/EU country can be registered with the registration authority.

You will receive a registration certificate Part I and II for new and used vehicles imported from abroad that do not yet have German vehicle documents.

With the registration you will receive, among other things, a license plate for your vehicle and may then only drive it on the road as soon as the license plates are permanently mounted on the car.

In addition, tax and insurance obligations for the vehicle begin and you as the owner must pay motor vehicle tax and motor vehicle insurance.

Imported used vehicles do not have to be presented to the registration authority for identification.

Imported new vehicles must be presented to the registration authority for identification on presentation of the EEC Certificate of Conformity (original) - also known as the Certificate of Conformity (COC).

The licensing authority reserves the right to order the vehicle to drive up in individual cases.
